One supplement requires 3 capsule at a go? Will u be taking it morning, afternoon and night? That's nine in a day. What kind of supp are these? Anyway, you could space them out so that you don't swallow too many at a time. i.e between 4 hours. Also note those you have to take with meals. It is well

evergreen woman says take 3capsules in a day. The oda 5 supplements im buying im yet to knw how many caps. Either way its plenteous
thnx tho. I ll space dem. I hope I wont default

This thread has gone cold, you would have gotten some quick answers, however, go back wards and read thru, i think there are some info on IVF clinics in Ibadan. Better still, if your friend is not on a tight work schedule, i would suggest she comes down to Lagos. Bridge and Olive branch (with Dr Emeka) have good success rate so far
I know that there has been lots of success and testimonials on Dr Emeka of Olive Branch, but I cant say am good with him. After I paid the registration fee and the fees for tests (him/her), he immediately did a scan and drew blood for tests, he scheduled sfa for me and my DH. When we went for test results, I found out that all he tested for me was HIV, Hepatitis and a test to show my Ovarian reserve and how I'll react to IVF stimulation. I was surprised as I expected Hormonal Assay for both me and my hubby.

He just told us that his recommendation is IVF because my husband has slight issues with his sperm. I asked him why not IUI cos I still think we qualify or IUI but he tried to convince me otherwise.I have Fibroids, Subserous, Intramural and Submucuous with the submucuous being a large chunk of it. Submucuous fibrioids are the ones that affcet conception mostly either stopping implantation or causing early miscarriage. I had had series of those which I told him. I asked him what about the Fibroids, he also started convincing me that the fibroids will not be an issue. I insisted and told him that if am going to spend such a huge amount of money, pain an time on IVF, then I'll like to improve my chances and do all I can to make it work 1st time especially by removing even if its the submucuous ones. He again tried to convince me that its not an issue that we should just move on to IVF. Well we agreed, and he told us that he'll send some documents to show me details of my protocol and everything via mail and once we pay a deposit to pay the rest before embryo transfer, we can then proceed.

Well after some days, I got an email from him with the protocols and terrifying agreement I need to sign. Deep in my mind I was still worried about the Fibroids so I decided to seek 2nd opinion and do my research. I discovered that I was right that the Fibroids have to go otherwise I'll just be playing a game of chance and luck. We had to advise ourselves, prayed and God answered and led us to a specialist who is willing to work with us to achieve a natural pregnancy if that's what we want.

Sorry for the long post. All this happened early 2015, I had my surgery Jan 2016. I didn't want to burst peoples bubbles as almost everybody praised him on this thread and had something great to say. But visiting this thread after a long time and having done my myomectomy now with a great Dr, I felt the need to share my experience.

Using Sea Salt helps as it contains iodine. You can also get Kelp supplement. I use the Kelp Supplement by Mason Natural and its very good.

Well, I ll recommend Dr Emeka any day anytime anywhere as particular situations shld not b generalised.
He has nothing to gain or lose by u doing or not doing myomectomy.Its nice u went somewhere else since you were not convinced of his diagnosis.At least ur mind ll b at rest.
Now, ALL and I repeat ALLfertilyy treatments starts wit agreements by d parties EVERY WHRRE IN D WORLD. 'Scary' or otherwise.
I had to speak up for ds man here so that individual sentiments does not translate to negatives bout quality at Olive branch.They r v v v professional and know exactly what they r doing!!!

Olive Branch Trucare Bridge and Louisemed and Fusion nest.
Pls pray and go where your heart leads you.However... confirmed high live birth results(not just BFPs) matters when choosing fertility clinics.

. Come force d story out of me and besides I am not a kid to know that i will not get arrested if i explain. U do not have to tell me that.
I have been a silent follower of this thread,all I do is come online read comments to learn a few things from ppls experiences and I log out.But after reading this post above,I couldn't help but comment.
Donatee meant no Ill by telling you to share your experience with olive branch.What is this thread meant for in the first place? well,in case you don't know,it's a meeting point for women trying for IUI,IVF,ICSI,etc,sharing experiences,as well as learning from them and taking precautions.
Y tell her to come force the story out of you?what an attitude,that's not nice.Names of big hospitals have been mentioned here both negatively and positively and nothing has happened,if you didnt want to share it in the first place,y mention it?After all you have kept it to yourself all this while.Pls let's mind our choice of words,we are supposed to be 'E-SISTERS'.

There's always still hope until your period comes. How many days post transfer are you today? Keep keeping the faith even if it still comes out negative, there's still hope as a lot of people record natural bfps after failed ivf.

All the best
